Johannes Bartl investigates the behavior of emperor penguins Johannes Bartl is a physics doctoral student at FAU and a member of a team that uses high-resolution cameras to study emperor penguins and their behavior. Their habitat is under severe threat due to climate change: if the ice at the South...

Physicists at MPL and FAU develop novel concept for detecting chiral molecules In contrast to conventional mirrors, light can be reflected on surfaces known as meta surfaces without changing its polarization. This has now been proven by physicists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnber...

In science, the exchange of ideas and resources between researchers from different disciplines forms the foundation for progress and innovation. Cooperation not only increases efficiency, but also promotes new findings. This is why the FAU Profile Center Light.Matter.QuantumTechnologies (LMQ) suppor...
